Dems seem to be afraid to fight or speak out. They are always apologizing when fake rage from the GOP erupts even when they have barely criticized the party. Never challenge the GOP media or trash Fox talent.
The Democratic party has been running since Reagan. At least the Dems should fight even if they lose and they might even win. The last election was the most blatant example of being like a bunch of chickens.
The American psyche respects a fighter even if the fighter is beaten. Dems need to be ready to politically bloody the GOP.
